SILKS AND BLACK GOODS
SILKS.

To say that we are showing larger
and better variety of Silk Goods than
ever before would not be doing our
stock justice, nor would it convey to
our patrons the facts we wish to es-
tablish in their minds. One fact is
already established, and that is this:
Our prices are always in plain figures,
and THE LOWEST that the same
quality and style can be sold for.
Now as to variety, we would say that
you can find all the NEW COL0RS,
as well as black and staple colors, in
the following-named goods: Satin
Duchess, Faille Francois, Rhadames,
Surahs, Fancy Foulard, MORE, Gros
Grains, Brocades, and many fancy
weaves which are new and very hand
some. Summer Silks, in excellent
quality and colors, at 81 Lee and SOC.
These are the best we ever had
for the price. Pongee Silks, all
widths and quality.
At our silk counter will be found
very large stock of Pushes and Vel
vets in all the new shades in plain col
ors; also, choice line Of Brocade and
Striped Velvets in the best combina-
ton of colors. Corduroy and Vel
veteens are also found at the silk
counter. Our stocks of Silks, Pushes
and Velvets are SO large and complete
that we can match every shade, and
customers never have to look further
than our department to satisfy every
wish 10 these lines.

Ladies at tho Games.

70 tho Editor OF the indianapolis Jou rnai:
Let US encourages the ladies to attend the ball
games. because they will enjoy it as much as the
gentlemen. In order that their transportation
may be pleasant TO and from the grounds,
suggest that every third or fourth car be set
apart for ladies only, or ladies accompanied by
, gentleman. AS cars are now run, their only
hope of getting to the grounds is by hanging on
the rear step. and don't think they like this
plan. l am confident that, If unattended, they
could get to the grounds in that manner. sug-
gest that the game would be greatly popularized.

A solitaire diamond ring in slender
delicate setting is no longer tae only
choice for engagement rings, as those
with colored stones are now favored,
especially when associated with dia-
monds. as sapphire or ruby beside
IL diamond. and two smaller brilliants
on either side. When the lady gives
her lover betrothal ring it has Il single
stone set "fush"-sunken in the gold
in Gypsy fashion. The wedding-ring
of purest gold is plain and inconspic-
uous. Lovers no longer believe pearls
are tears for Il bride. as grooms' we'd
ding gifts are now quite us often pearls
as diamonds. consisting of II pearl neck
lace of one festooned strand, or from
two to six or eight strands, which may
lie fiat or be cOiled like rope; pearl
earrings complete the parure, and may
be either screws or drops with n small
diamond at the top. If the groom pre-
fers to give diamond earrings, they
should be solitaires of not more than
three or four carats the pair if they are
drops; and if they are screws, weigh
ing not over two carats the pair; large
diamonds are for elderly women-for
dowagers, not for brides. Bracelets
given to the bride by the groom are
slender and flexible, set with diamonds
alone. or else pearls with diamonds.
Instead of the crescent or star of dia-
monds, diamond sun is a new brooch
given brides for fastening lace of the
corsage or the bridal veil. A true
lover knot made of loops of small dia-
monds is for the same purpose. Al

something practical such as sleeve

may all be of pearls; she also gives her
bridesmaids each brooch or II bonnet

New and Delightful Anecdote of Will
liam Makepeace Thackeray.
The publication of the Thackeray
letters in Scri6ner's Magazine has
called forth much new material of an
anecdotal character, both in this coun-
try and abroad. Miss Henriette Cork
ran, the writer, tells what she remem-
bers of the genial novelist when child
of seven. One anecdote illustrates his
kindness of heart and love for children.
She writes of him:
al can distinctly recall the big white
head, the spectacles, the rosy face and
the sweet, sunny smile which positive
ly illumined his countenance and made
it almost beautiful. / grew even to
love the broad. broken nose, and used
to wonder how a boy. at any period,
could have been so wildly audacious as
to punch that feature. l wondered at
the softness and gentleness of his voice
and manner, and why SO great an au-
thor should care to come amongst US
little children in such a simple, friend
ly way. He had formidable appear
apce. being over six feet and broad in
proportion. We children were like
pigmies clustering around the knees
of Brobdignag. Mr.. Thackeray was
our favOrite giant. But evidently he
was not too tall or too great to take an
interest in our girlish games. How
often has he sat amongst US, inquiring
tcnderly about my dolls. He re-
membered all their names and
had made out a genealogical tree,
so that every poupee had
distinct history of her own. One late
afternoon, after having told us delight
full stories, Mr.. Thackeray remarke ed
that he must leave us Mt once, he was
so terribly hungry. We coaxed him tc
remain, and told him that we really
could give him Il good dinner.
There is nothing, my dears. YOU car
give me-" he answered with Il funny
little sigh, ''for l could only eat the
chop of rhinoceros OF a slice from ar
elephant"

year-old sister. We saw her disappear
